Beautiful! I love all your work! :)
Very nice Marina
love it Marina! What is the medium for the color portion? (It seems to say conte and charcoal, but it seemed like full color on the face?)
Thank you Katalin, Jason and Mona!
This drawing is made with my usual technique : charcoal + sanguine, red and white Conté. 4 colors are enough to give the illusion of full colors :)
If you are interested to learn more,I wrote an article about this technique in International Artist Magazine #66.
Génial! Sublime!
Merci Carolina!
